This is one of the dumbest shit ngl. My bank also does this. However they go one step further. They force a maximum 12 letter password and 1 character of each type (capital, small, number, symbol) is necessary. This actively reduces password security smh

What other such joke standards (by you or others) do you like?

How is it still working when other apps are dead?

I always use Github to check if my IPv4 DNS works lol (using ping). So it's definitely a feature /s

Why was it allowed in the first place? Generally I'm pro freedom but in this case the phones should be locked down and there should be a whitelist of apps they can install. It's not a personal phone.

All MS first party games are on PC because MS owns the PC ecosystem. Not because MS is friendlier💀

You should read about EU's proposed law DMA. It aims to solve this problem of not being able to contact friends if you uninstall WhatsApp (or any other app). The link explains it better lol

Can someone eli5 pls?

Banks make the worst possible UI and justify it by saying "security" xD

I'm using proton + Arch for over a year and I have no issues running any games (Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3060 Ti). Only issues I had were with anti cheat.

You could say Russian landing was more impactful and groundbreaking

As an Indian I would say India lacks in physical infrastructure - roads, public transport (although this is improving rapidly), etc. However having lived in Europe I will say that the technological infrastructure is very good over here - banking and payment systems (UPI is way better than the payment systems in Europe), online services, internet quality, etc.

Highly doubt it. If anything it'll be similar to Social Media Addiction

I think a large part of why Framework laptops worked and no mobile equivalent has come up is because most of phone ecosystem is not free. When I install Lineage OS on my phone I always expect a decrease in the quality of photos because lot of the camera stuff is proprietary and baked into the OEM ROM.

I get that the Framework equivalent of phones can manufacture their own devices and write FOSS firmware for it but it's a big hurdle which not many can afford.

On the contrary in laptops/PCs you can install Linux and expect most of the hardware to work out of the box. So until phone ecosystem gets as free as PC ecosystem (I doubt it will considering how the corporations work) I doubt a Framework equivalent will be available for phones.

Wow. Never knew about these :)

Nextcloud by itself is pretty secure. They have a docker container to set everything up. So the weak link would be how you host it. If you host it on a vps, can the vps be trusted and if you self host it can you set the firewalls properly. Source: I'm currently setting it up on a Odroid N2+

UPI is the best mode of payment. I doubt anyone can change my mind.

Oh wow. TIL

I think you are confusing soulless with dead. It's more alive than ever yes but it has become monotonous. The original feeling of individuality of websites has been reduced to the monotonity you see when you visit different websites. For example, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram or even their federated alternatives like Mastodon and Lemmy (I haven't used Pixelfed) are designed in a similar way to that users feel familiar and don't get turned off from using the website. This is just one example I can think of now.

I think mint has timeshift enabled by default. Try going back to when the games worked and figure out what change caused the gamss to break?

I have major issues with this game's battling system. The original game's combat is pretty complex but it is well balanced with 6 different stats, types, abilities, etc. Pokemon go simplifies it into type advantages and a number (CP). CP is more affected by atk than def and hp. This (amongst other things) trivializes def and hp stats.

I was hopeful that they would rework this with pvp but they didn't. Instead they tried to copy the Smogon tiers (the different leagues) but somehow made the original combat which requires a lot of strategy to a dumb tap fast to win combat.

I used to play Pokemon Go a lot till covid and I kept hoping for better updates and new mechanics (I even theorized how they could translate the turn based combat to real time) but it seemwd they didn't want to make it anymore than what it was so I quit.

Check out Shelter. Iuse Shelter myself but I have heard that Insular does the same thing. Shelter has an option of installing from APK directly into work profile. I tried installing different versions just now and it worked.

Edit: Hadn't properly read your post. Changed my reply to better fit the question

I would add Digilocker as well. Completed removed my need for a wallet. But it's not as great as these 2

Yes the DMA. WhatsApp has the skeleton code for it in place I think

EU's Digital Markets Act might interest you :p

What did you find confusing about Element? The most confusing part for most people is the federation but since you're on Lemmy, I assume that's not the case for you.

Why do you want them to switch from Signal? Federation? Other than that Signal's great. Idk specifically about Signal bridge but I'm in a room with Telegram and IRC bridged and both bridges work pretty well. The room was bridged to XMPP as well but XMPP bridge was weird (resent random messages sometimes) so we removed it. Give it a try though and if possible tell me how it works? I'm curious :p

Elden Ring looks beautiful. You just need to get used to fighting a boss 100+ times before killing him ;_;

Horizon series is good. The 2nd game, Forbidden West is so good I used to open the photo mode at random spots and take pictures because I found the scenery beautiful. I would definitely recommend it.

Ghost of Tsushima is also beautiful. However I got bored pretty quickly but others have enjoyed the game so maybe you'll like it.

Also Skyrim with mods (like ENB) can be beautiful as well :p

Thanks

Thanks! I have Liftoff for Lemmy but I'll check out the others

I agree with most of your points. Just wanted to point out that for MS games Linux compatibility is not planned. Not saying that other studios are supporting Linux, very few are but I wanted say that MS is Windows friendly not PC friendly.

Running de-googled Lineage OS (Android 10 equivalent version). Biggest drawback for me is maps. I make do with OSMAnd+ but I have to search on Google Maps, get the coordinates and paste into OSMAnd+. Other than that no issues

Yes I do that when I can! It's super convenient with the map editing plugin. I probably wouldn't contribute if it didn't exist xD.

I'll check out street complete thanks!

Lol makes sense

Is it different from a pressure cooker? Because pressure cooker is similar (add water, rice, start cooking, wait for X whistles) and has multiple use cases.

Quillpad is nice. I've been using it for about a year now. It satisfies all the 4 requirements as well.

I'm interested. Can you tell me more about it?

Try flashing GrapheneOS if you're comfortable with it?
